Recipe: Meatloaf

Ingredients:

1 to 1 1/2 lbs. of lean ground beef
1 small onion, cut into small pieces
2 stalks of celery, cut into chunky pieces
1 bell pepper, cut into chunky pieces
1 egg
1/2 to 3/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1 small can tomato sauce or paste, optional

Instructions:

Spray a loaf pan or casserole with cooking spray. Try sprinkleing some pepper in the bottom of the pan before adding the meatloaf mixture. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients and put into your cooking pan. Again, I sprinkle the top of the meatloaf with a little pepper. Cook for one hour. If you want tomato sauce or paste with your meatloaf, I would put it on top of the meatloaf after cooking for 55 minutes, and then cook for five more minutes. Makes about four servings.
